Hi Seacondor,
I am still around but do not play SH3 any longer, only SH4. I'll try to help you. It is best for us all when you are able to convert your nice models to SH3/SH4 yourself. This way, you can be more efficient and productive.
As to problems with smoothing you mentioned, they are the result of conversion proceedures from Gmax.
If I remember correctly, SH3 does not use smoothing groups from other 3D software properly.
To start, install the S3D tool/program for SH3/SH4 written by skwasjer (see dedicated thread in SH4 modding forum). This program allows for export/import 3D models and editing of all kinds of files in SH3/SH4. There are a number of tutorials/videos on skwasjer's site including how to export/import SH models to/from 3DS MAX. More information concerning the tool can be found on SH4 modding forums.
